BrainyBabe commented on the word business card
"He searched in his pocket, and offered Yashima a small oblong ivory talisman -- one of those "cards" which the English are in the habit of distributing lavishly among their acquaintance, believing them to be endowed with magical powers of strengthening the bond between giver and recipient, and even, upon occasions, of creating a bond where none previously existed." -- ''Yashima, or, The Gorgeous West'' by R T Sherwood, 1931.
